[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 739857, member: 22840"] Hi Beta, I’m so sorry for the pain, confusion and abuse you are getting from your son. My son was diagnosed young. I know I was paying very close attention, because I had to with the therapies and medications and such. He was truly happy, and didn’t feel the way he does today about the fictional childhood he now remembers. I have a feeling you didn’t miss anything either. I have no contact with my son currently. He’s said things to me recently that are so shocking I feel I have no other choice. I don’t know what the future will bring. That’s the bad news. But strangely enough he’s still working, since April, a new record for him. He got a raise and also has a part time job on top of the full-time job. He bought a car, a beater, but still he had to pay for it and 6 months of insurance to get it registered. The insurance probably cost more than the car with his driving record. He also pays room and board where he is living. And he hasn’t been thrown out of the house for acting like a a** so he must be controlling his mouth at least with the home owner and the people at work. I know some people his age are not very happy with him because he’s gotten nasty with them so it’s not all a bed of roses but still. I’m hoping he will start to feel empowered by taking responsibility for himself instead of getting angry with me because I’m not taking care of him. Who knows, maybe he will always be angry with me, it's not in my control. You do what you can. I know it feels like you are abandoning him, especially with his guilt tripping, and you worry about him. In my case I feel like any contact just allows more off the wall behavior from my son. But then I have other people who are in contact with him who let me know how he’s doing. I hope you figure out a way that works for you. If the texts are too much could you limit him to emails only and get someone else to read them first to see if the content is okay? [/QUOTE]
